Package trip to Hotel

    • At the time of our trip to Taba Heights, we were flown in through Israel to Ovda airport for a border crossing.

    What they don't tell you is that Ovda is a Military Airport. You are then transferrred by bus to the border where you have to pay to buy a Visa and then walk across the border, about 300 yards carrying your luggage, they don,t allow vehicles to cross. This is a real timewasting ball ache.

    I had intended to go for a day trip back to Elat which was only 10 miles from Taba, but the border crossing was such a performance that I did not bother.

    On the return journey the security checks by the Israelis were totally over the top. What a miserable load of humourless bastards they are. Everyone on the flight was unanimously agreed that they had enjoyed the holiday to Taba but would NEVER return by this route.

    Was this some cunning plot to ruin the Egyptians efforts to build a competing resort I wonder. I mean I can understand security at this level if we all had flowing white beards and Kaftans, but a coach load of Brit's!!!

    Thankfully, I understand that there is now an Egyptian airport at Taba now which should overcome this problem. But if you are offered a trip through Ovda, forget it.

    Taba Border Crossing

    When traveling from within Israel to Taba, Egypt, one must bring a passport. If you own an Israeli automobile and hold an Israeli passport than you can drive over the border. Otherwise, most people walk and take a taxi on the Egyptian side.

    There is a US $15.00 fee to cross the Israeli border, and a US $26.00 fee to cross on the Egyptian side unless you are going to the Hilton Taba or the casino. Those are free because they sit on the Israeli/Egyptian border.

    At the border crossing between Egypt and Israel, there is a large group of taxis waiting for travelers. Generally these cars are of low quality and the drivers are very dangerous, but during the night, they know the roads the best of anyone. If you must take a taxi, I suggest only taking taxis during the day and agree on your price ahead of time (most of the drivers seem to prefer new Israeli sheqels over any other currency).
